Gentlemen: I am appalled, as are all to whom I have spoken re

garding the matter, to learn that the inf~mous "Tokyo Rose" is

to be re-admi tted to our country. It seems that she wishes to

.resume her American c1 tizenahip and reaide here in order that

he.r child, as yet unborn, may be born in this country and in-

heritthe freedoms and privilegea which are synonomous with

American citizenshi~.

Is it for this that our boys ~ought and died? Were

their brave and courageous young'livea offered up in vain? Is

1 t for thi a that today there axe numerous little American tot s

growing to wl]illlanhood &nd. n:.anbocci, never having known their orm

fathers? Is it for this· that the war widows, the gold star

mothers. the fathers. the brothers and Sisters, the all of our country gave up our men?

That woman gave up her right to ever set foot again

on Amerioan soil when she made her fir st broad.oast as "Tokyo"

Rose". You oannot teach young America that the reward for

.... treason is to be welcomed home, forgiven and allowed to give the wonderful ~ift of Amerioan birth to children. American

oi tizenship is the birthright of the ohildred of Amerioans,

not of the children of would-be Japs. ~~ .. (' ( AOOR£aa REPLY TO ( ( ·"THIt ATTORNEY GENERAL" AND REFER TO INITIALs AND HUMBER DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
